Review of Elektra (2005) by Fuad_Rmnm — 21 Apr 2022

Marvelous Jennifer Garner in Floppy Marvel’s Movies Era?!

Back then, Marvel Studio's reputation didn’t marvelous as right now even though they hire a great leading cast, Jennifer Garner. She plays Elektra which prodigy child and an urban legend of a legendary woman that could stop the ancient war – the good vs the evil. She possesses magnificent skills in hand-to-hand combatant, skillful weaponry, and incredible human sense – almost like a sixth sense. Even, sometimes, she could see the future in a glimpse. The main plot is narrating Elektra's struggles from a blurry POV about her fate and messy life – as an assassin and loner. Then, there is a fateful moment from her assassination duty that changes everything.

The only pros are Jennifer Garner’s performance which marvelous. Her actings, athletic body, and beauty are the only thing that entertains the audience. Besides that, everything is very miserable – it’s really hard to believe if compared to current Marvel movies. Lack of storyline, visual quality, and even barely to entertain us. The storyline always jumps from one to another very quickly. The visual quality seems every picture is the same, dull, and monotonous. As an audience, I began to understand why this movie rating was so bad as entertainment. The only entertaining aspect is Jennifer Garner’s performance.

Overall, my POV, big thanks to the marvelous Jennifer Garner’s performance that tried to cover the floppy quality of Elektra (2005) but sadly it still failed. The failures of this movie prove that Marvel Studios couldn’t deliver a great spin-off from Daredevil (2003). However, they deliver another proof, Jennifer Garner's performance is marvelous. It’s still worth watching if wandering how Marvel Studios movie quality in back old days.
